Spots on LO's head

My LO had mild cradle cap and it went away quickly but he still has some dark spots on his head that look similar to large freckles. Is this due to the cradle cap he had or something else? My first never had this so I know nothing about it. I plan in showing this to his pedi at his next appointment but it's been there so long I'm starting to wonder if it has nothing to do with his cradle cap.

About a month ago my DD had a spot on the top of her forehead near her hairline that looked like a freckle. It appeared out of no where one morning and was around her 9 month appt so I asked her pedi. He said it looked like a popped blood vessel. We noticed she had another about an inch away under her hair. (her hair is still very thin and light so was easy to spot). Pedi said not to worry just keep an eye on it and it disappeared within a few days. Not sure if this is related to your situation, but sounded similar so thought i would share.

Thanks. His may be different because he's had them for months and there are several of them. It's like a patch of freckles covering almost the whole top part of his head and it's all around the same area he had the cradle cap.

I use to scrub off his dry skin but I haven't tried picking at the spots. Every time I try to look at it he throws a fit. He's really not going to like it when the pedi looks at it. But I'll let you know. He has an app not this week but next.

Saw the pedi today and asked him about the spots and he did say it was part of the cradle cap. I just need to scrub it more when I'm washing his hair and he said baby oil helps too. I got his comb and gentle rubbed his scalp with it and noticed that the spots do start to flake. So we just need to do more scrubbing. He said its important to get all that left over cradle cap off because it can turn into an infection.

Just a tip: apply lots of baby oil on his head before the bath and let it sit for 5 minutes. Give baby a bath and scrub the best you can. Applying baby oil before bath made the spots* fall without living the skin pink.
